N/S (NV) E/W (NV) WEST--NORTH--EAST--SOUTH-------------------PASSPASS--PASS---1♥----2NT(A)3♥----PASS---4♥----PASSPASS--???? 2NT(A)=5/5 in minors (promises some kind of points in both suits) What do you bid from North with these cards? ♠: T865♥: Q54♦: QT3♣: AJ4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbenvic Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Pass. I have no great expectation of defeating 4♥ but we could have 2 tricks in each minor (unlikely as they appear to be short on points so likely to have shape to compensate) and that rates as a better chance than going 1 off. 2 off is more likely and 3 is a real possibility - give him KJ♦ and k♣ and have the non trump suit break 4-1 so that they get a ruff. Ace and another ♦ if ♣ trumps and club lead win A♦ club continuation when ♦ are trumps. It's a risk reward thing and there is always a chance they'll bid 5 over 5 and go one off but my opps usually get it right and X me when they should and bid on when X is wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwar0123 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Pass, you are flat as a pancake. Your rate to have 3 major suit losers and 1-2 minor suit losers. So you are down 300 to 500, which white vs white isn't that good at imps and meh at mps. Also being so flat your opponents may also not make 4 ♥, there is enough minors out between them to have 3 losers in just the minors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
